    I see people complain about the sharding. But it seems everybody was in such a bracket, even I. Haven't played the whole month and my best *** has 9 Covers.

    Did ANYBODY have a soft bracket? All I see are 1k for top10 ones.

    I did - mine was only 919 for top10.

    If people actually quit or at least reduced their playing like they say they're for being disappointed with the game we wouldn't have so many death brackets out there. After all, they can't force you into a death bracket if there aren't enough other crazies out there in the first place.

    It's kind of ironic that the game has problems but is not bad enough for people to quit so the problems persist. If the game is losing players, problems like the death bracket would go away rather quickly from running out of players. I do wish D3 wouldn't engage in a game of chicken where they're daring people to quit the game to solve the problems.

    I got lucky in my bracket ~ finished 4th with 920 points using an 8hr shield

    I got this mental image of Back to the Future that would play out like this:

    Marty: But what about the rest of the death bracket, Biff?
    Biff: I own all the other 499 accounts in the death bracket, kid.

    Mine was somewhat similar - I took 5th with 940.

    Like my screenshot showed, I only just barely squeeked into the top _25_ with 1k

    In the end, 963 would get you top 5 in my bracket, and 819, top 10.

    Trading 1st and 2nd drove our top end up to about 1206 in my bracket, but it was 950 for 5th and 814 for 10th otherwise. Not bad compared to some of the more recent brackets I've participated in.

    In my bracket 892 was needed for top 25 and 1029 for top10. Not that I think it's friendly at all but still better than the cage match bracket I had when 897 was only enough for #35.

    The funny part is that I didn't even intend to get T5. I was in 12th and wanted T10 so I shielded when I had that. After I shielded, I realized that my alliance had a chance for top ten with 19 players so I pushed for that. I didn't see that I had T5 until after it was over.

    The funnier part is that I was in 5th, and as soon as I saw the two below me unshield, I immediately started the 45 point node I had saved. Daken/Sentry boosted with about 4.5 minutes left. And everything goes perfectly wrong.
    -No green/yellow matches on the opening board.
    -It takes more than 6 turns before I finally get enough green, but it was through match-4's and Hood steal, so I had no strike tiles.
    -Wait a couple more turns till there's enough yellow on the board to cast Rupture, then Sacrifice.
    -Sacrifice lands on a place where there's only two matches available on the board. I take the black that saves the Sacrifice.
    -AI kills the Sacrifice.
    -The most impotent Rupture ever leaves me with half a match to still win.
    -After I kill his Sentry, the AI uses a TU Supernova, taking out my Hood.
    -Still no attack colors, so slowly have to whittle away.

    Match ends 20 sec too late and I miss the Mohawk yellow.

    Oh well, looks like it was the perfect storm (pun intended) and just wasn't meant to be.

    Similar here, 5th with 950 (6th was 946). I shielded and went to sleep many hours before the end of the event, so had no idea whether that score was going to be enough for top 5, but it turned out to be JUST enough. 10th place has 842, for what it's worth.

    Incidentally boooooooooom of the X-Men was 1st in the bracket with 1716, almost 700 points clear of 2nd in the bracket icon_lol.gif

    Not that I can do anything about it but just need to stress out here:

    Last hour of the PvP I ground my way up to top 20 and with half an hour left I went to the gym thinking that I'd done enough to stay top 100. (No HP to shield so figured I'd get as high up as possible to get ahead of the last minute sniping)

    Anyway come out of the gym an hour later to find I'd been hit for 202 points and dropped all the way down to 152.

    Like I said nothing I can do about it but just frustrating to get hit like that in the last few minutes even when I used my strongest team last to try and stop the attacks!!

    I was right behind you with 1073. Loads of fun, glad I didn't need more than 1 yellow.
    Can't believe 1288 was not enough for a top 5 icon_mad.gif

    Was in #8 with 8mins to go at 1203. Figure I'd try to hit 1300 and get a Top 5 spot. Had WR2.0 and another xmen saved. with 1min+ to go, I reached 1328. Seconds later, got hit for -40 by a Patchneto team icon_e_sad.gif
